Residents demand action as speeding crisis escalates
Concerns over speeding and public safety dominated the recent government meeting, as residents voiced frustrations about reckless driving in their neighborhoods. One local resident highlighted alarming incidents on Highway 47, where vehicles were observed driving in the wrong direction and racing past homes, particularly during school hours. The speaker expressed fears that without increased police presence, a serious accident could occur.

Another resident, Ingrid Denman, echoed these concerns, noting that speeding contractors frequently traverse her street, endangering children playing in nearby parks. She also raised issues regarding a lack of communication about a water shortage, questioning why some residents did not receive flyers about the situation.

In response to inquiries about police visibility, officials assured attendees that there is an officer on duty every day, although typically only one. They acknowledged the community's concerns about the perceived lack of police presence and emphasized that multiple officers, including a police chief and a traffic officer, are available, albeit with varying schedules.

The meeting underscored a growing demand for enhanced traffic enforcement and better communication from local authorities to ensure community safety and awareness.
